class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_story\"><\/span>The story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Opened in late 2024, JOEY King Street is the largest JOEY on the continent at roughly 19,000 square feet, built inside the historic Royal Bank building in King West. It&#8217;s the flagship of a family-owned Canadian group that began as a Calgary pasta house in 1992 and now spans more than 30 restaurants \u2014 and this location is where the brand shows off, from the grand two-level design to the marquee patio.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_order\"><\/span>What to order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The kitchen runs JOEY&#8217;s globally inspired greatest hits: the Classic Steak with frites, the signature Lobster Spaghetti, sushi and crunchy tuna rolls, pan-seared gyoza and Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps to share, all backed by a deep cocktail list. It&#8217;s steak-to-sushi range done at flagship scale.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two soaring levels inside a restored bank hall, topped by a 100-seat rooftop-style patio with an operable roof and lush landscaping that looks out over King West. Grand but lively \u2014 heritage bones, modern polish and one of the best big-night rooms Downtown.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_its_for\"><\/span>Who it&#8217;s for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Special occasions and see-and-be-seen dinners: anniversaries, celebrations, impressing out-of-town guests, or a long weekend lunch on the patio when the roof is open.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers\"><\/span>Questions and answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Do I need a reservation?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 as the flagship it books up quickly, so reserve ahead, particularly for the patio and weekend evenings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there vegetarian and gluten-wise dishes?<\/strong> Yes, the menu carries bowls, salads and plant-forward plates plus clearly marked gluten-wise options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should a first-timer order?<\/strong> The Classic Steak and Lobster Spaghetti are the signatures; add the lettuce wraps and some sushi to share.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can it handle a large group or private event?<\/strong> Absolutely \u2014 the scale of the room makes it one of the easier downtown spots for big tables and celebrations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the patio worth it?<\/strong> Very \u2014 the 100-seat terrace has an operable roof over the street below, so it works in sun or light rain and is the seat to request in warm months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201301:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201301:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201302:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201302:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201302:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201302:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201301:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-1.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-2.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-3.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-4.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-5.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-6.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<details>\n<summary>Show 3 more photos<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-7.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/joey-king-st-toronto-8.jpg\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/07\/joey-king-st-toronto-9.png\" alt=\"JOEY King St\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Rod Mucio<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n15 June 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>This place is just electric!
